In the “must have” tools section, we talked about not only esxtop/resxtop, vscsistats, vcenter reports and EMC array tools but… more importantly – we demonstrated simple, easy powershell tools that help you use these across clusters, to correlate and analyze this data – to get to answers.

This stuff is all provided FOR FREE. Use it.

The session was recorded, and you can get the recording below (click on the below to watch).

The powerpoint used is also shared in PPT format (for max leverage and reusability). Of course this means that EMC competitors will use it (I see this all the time – argh – note there is an “EMC copyright” logo in the slide deck), but it’s a small price to pay for the gain for the overall community.

I also REALLY want to highlight Clint Kitson’s powershell work here (thanks Clint – you rock) and also directly link to the “key resources” I mentioned. As is always the case – the “know where to go for what you don’t know” is often as important as the “what you know”.

Is this still available for public consumption. I am designing a new EMC environment with Vmware and was looking for best practices. The session links seems to be broken and the file needs a username/password. How do I get the access?
